1047 Frank who died greatly
"In our Franks, after the death of every king, the land is divided equally among all the sons. That is, every son was able to get a distribution of the land, and then the country was divided. Maupassant said helplessly.
When Jingwen heard this, he immediately felt very speechless. This is indeed a great death, and I have never seen such a death. Since ancient times, China has been afraid that the princes will be too powerful, so Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also implemented a Tui En Decree, dividing the territory of those princes equally among each child, so as to prevent the princes from having the strength to rebel against the central government. But this Frank is really the best, and he actually took the initiative to divide the land equally among every child, so that everyone can have a part of it at that time, and then the country is not divided? In later generations, in order to maintain national unity, all countries in the world wanted to do their best to hand over the unification of their land to one person to inherit, instead of separating it to countless people.
And if a strong country is divided like this every time, then even a strong country will be divided into a small piece of country, isn't this very speechless? After a few generations, even a big and powerful country will be turned into a weak country by its own death. Even if they are all members of the same family, they may not be able to cooperate, so this kind of equal division of territory is simply death for a strong country. But Frank did it, and it was really speechless.
"We, the kings, are aware of this, but what can be done? This is the custom of our Franks, if it is handed over to one person to inherit, then in the end there will be trouble in our own family. Maupassant also sighed and said.
Of course Jingwen knew, why wasn't Emperor Wu of Han's Tui'en order opposed by those princes? But what can they do? Because once this edict is implemented, the second sons of those princes and all kinds of concubines will also begin to stand with the emperor in order to compete for the right of inheritance. Originally, they had no right to inherit. But now that they have the opportunity to inherit, even if it is only a small part, then they will be willing. So this kind of is simply hitting a person's death hole. So the kings of the Franks were not aware of this problem. But they have fallen into the contradictions of family infighting, and they can't stop.
So Frank actually experienced a split every time. Reunification, reincarnation, reunification. And this kind of reincarnation is very tragic, it is experienced every few decades, which is much more dense than hundreds of years in China. And they are actually all kings of the same family, but their national habits have also caused this result, so it is very tragic.
"Maupassant, how do you think our China in the East compares to you Franks?" Jingwen asked.
"The East is much better than us. At least even if it's divided. They can all be unified again to become a great power. But for us in the West, it's also difficult! Maupassant said.
Of course, Jingwen knew that China was actually deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the idea of great unification, and since Qin Shi Huang unified China, the whole country has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the idea of great unification. Whenever the world was in chaos, those princes all took the unification of China as their own responsibility. If you don't want to unify China, you will be destroyed sooner or later. It is precisely because this idea of great unification is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that although there will be divisions in China's troubled times, they will all be unified one day, and this can ensure that the national territory will not be divided.
But the West is different, and once the West is divided, it will be difficult to reunify. The West in this era. In fact, the right to inherit property is divided equally, and this makes it easy for their country to split. This was actually the case with Eastern and Western Rome, which was divided into two parts, East and West. And the reason was that the emperor of ancient Rome wanted to divide the land among his two sons. And once Rome was divided, it was not able to reunite until its demise. And the Western Rome has perished, the Eastern Rome has not yet perished, according to history they will periish in more than 500 years.
However, the West does not have the idea of great unification, and once they are divided, it will be really difficult to reunify. This is also caused by Western civilization, and the Franks may not be able to solve this problem at present, even after many years.
And if Jingwen remembers it well, then even if Piping usurped the country later, it would be in the hands of Piping's descendant Louis. And Louis was not going to split again again. Instead, his three sons were set up in a palace coup. Louis then became a bare-bones emperor, and his sons were divided again after his death. And the land after the division of these three sons. That is, it became France and Germany. There are also the earliest lands of the three countries of Italy. After that, the Franks officially became history, and no one was able to unify them again.
"Death! This is really an out-and-out death, a good big country, but it has been so tossed! Jingwen also sighed and said.
Maupassant immediately said, "My lord, I hope to be able to spread the culture of the East, so that I can help us in the Franks." Because the East emphasizes unity, it is completely different from us in the West. I hope to be able to spread the idea of the unification of the East to us in the Franks, so that we in Francia may not be divided again, and then we will experience war again. ”
Jingwen saw that Maupassant actually had such an idea, and the reason why he wanted to spread Chinese culture was to hope that Frank would not continue to split. After all, it is better to be a peace dog than to be a troubled person, this is not only the case in the East, but even in the West. When the world war was in the past, weren't those ordinary people also very miserable? So this is something that makes sense for everything, and no one likes to divide the country, not even Westerners. However, the so-called national traditional culture is a factor that promotes separatism.
So this Maupassant hopes to spread Chinese culture to the West, so that the West will not continue to split, so that it will be good for them! And Maupassant spread Chinese culture because he loved his motherland, so he did so. But if he knew Jingwen's true intention of cultural export, he might not think so, but this did not prevent Jingwen from using him. (To be continued)
